Top-Quality Mulch

K & K Mulch and Loam of Franklin, MA sells only the finest bark mulch.  You'll be impressed with our premium bark mulches which have richer color and better texture compared to what others may offer.

Mulch helps to moderate your soils temperature and retain moisture, thereby reducing the need to water.  Mulch helps to reduce the splashing from rain or irrigation water, reducing the spread of disease, and to help to block the formation or germination of many weeds.  In time, mulch decomposes and lends its nutrients to the soil.

For specifics related to delivery of your mulch see our Delivery section.

Sources of Mulch

The raw materials used in our mulches are recovered from wood manufacturing operations that do not use the bark.  A couple of decades ago, this would have been incinerated or dumped in a landfill.  Much of the materials used come from "Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)" certified operations.  Contact us to learn more.

Deciding the Right Amount of Mulch for Your Needs

To figure the amount of product you need, measure the length X width and divide by 100, this will give you the number of yards you need for 3" deep.

1 yard of product would cover 10 feet x 10 feet - 3" deep.  
There are 27 cubic feet to a yard.  1 Yard will fill a standard 6 cubic foot wheelbarrow 4.5 times water level (not heaped).
 
For circular beds, measure the diameter - radius = diameter divided by 2. Remember high school math - 3.14 x R2 = A.  This gives you your square footage - again divide by 100 to get the number of yards for 3" deep.

Most mulches are applied at a depth of 3".

"John and his son are a great team! I get loaded up very quickly, and the prices are comparable with others in the area. The Composted leaf mulch is extremely good, and I use it for all my garden installations. Highly recommended."
